Plans are really starting to firm up for our trip.
Over the weekend I wired the deposit for our apartment in Paris. It's near the
Canal St. Martin and across the street from a metro stop (important). The neighborhood isn't exactly in the center of things but it's near enough that everything is easily accessible (also important). We will be stationed there for a week before moving on to Provence. The apartment even has a washer and dryer which is a very nice little bonus.
I found the place through
Paris Attitude, and so far my dealings with them have all been smooth and professional. I will update on the rest of the process when we get back from our trip (or on our trip, depending on how much internet access we can swing).
The only other major thing to do before we leave is rent a car, which I will look into more thoroughly next month.
Oh, and figure out were we'll be staying in the various stops in Provence and Nice.

A rental site called
Paris Attitude, found via the
Paris Voice Magazine web site.
This one looks like it has some good inexpensive rental units. And lots of them.

This site looks like it has some decent deals.
No internet in the apartments though. It would be ideal to find a place that had a computer and internet. Some of the places through
Kudeta seem to have for a little extra cash.

This looks like a pretty good resource for cheap hotels in Europe.
I know there are tones of these sites around, but most seem to be light on information and heavy on promotion.
This one looks like it's got a lot of information and opinions and not just about hotels. They've got some nice
city guides as well.
I'll add it to the resource sidebar.
